Isn't cooking stuff "cuisinart"?**

I think what tickled Liz' curiousity is that a French word for cook is
"cuisinier" or "cuisiniere" if female.

Oh.
Well lots of people have names like "Cook" and "Baker" and "Smith" in most
European languages, and it doesn't occur to me to ask them if they are smiths or
cooks.

I figured it was the name of the company because it was someone's name.

There is CUISINART and CULINAIRE, brands of cookware. I swear it is
the Martha in me but I just never thought that CUISINAIRE could be a
last name. I thought they were cooking implements given a new use or
something.

Call me weird :)
